    Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Pro

    Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession: ABA Findings on LGBT+ Lawyers and Lawyers with Disabilities

    11:45 am -1:15 pm, lunch provided

    Join us for a talk followed by discussion with Peter Blanck, chairman of the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University.

    In 2017, the American Bar Association launched a first-of-its kind nationwide longitudinal study, conducted by the Burton Blatt Institute, to identify biases encountered by disabled and LGBT+ lawyers in the legal profession, and to help develop and implement strategies to ameliorate such biases. This talk presents preliminary findings from this national study, based on responses from 1,000 lawyers across the United States. The initial findings suggest the need for continuing efforts to promote the full and equal participation of all diverse persons, including lawyers with disabilities and who are LGBT+, in the legal profession.

    This event is free and open to the public. Registration required. Please RSVP here to reserve your spot and lunch.

    Human Rights and the Chagos Islanders

    In 1965, three years before Mauritius achieved independence, the British separated the Chagos Islands, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, from the rest of its colony. Mauritius claims this separation was in breach of UN resolution 1514, passed in 1960, which banned the breakup of colonies before independence. A few years later, the British forcibly removed the inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago from their homeland to make way for construction of a U.S. military base on the island of Diego Garcia.

    The Chagossians have been engaged in litigation for decades over proper compensation for their removal as well as the right to return to the islands. Their cases have been heard in sites including British and U.S. courts, the European Court of Human Rights, and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. In 2017, the UN General Assembly voted to request an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ will review core questions of sovereignty (both the UK and Mauritius claim the islands as their own), as well as wider issues of decolonization and the exercise of the right to self-determination.

    Robin Mardemootoo, who holds an LLM from Texas Law, will speak about his involvement in the Chagos Island case. He has litigated in the UK, the US, and now before the ICJ. He is coordinating the crossborder litigation.

    Lunch will be provided!

    Capital Punishment Center Conference

    The UT Law Capital Punishment Center will host its annual symposium on April 6 & 7, 2018.

    This year’s conference, "Mitigation Advocacy," will discuss the growth of mitigation practice over the past 30-40 years along several dimensions: changes in best practices; empirical assessments of what "works" in mitigation development and presentation; the extension of mitigation practices to non-capital contexts; the importance of cultural competence in mitigation investigation; and the significance of mitigation to the practice of American capital punishment. The goal of the conference is to understand the evolving role of mitigation development and presentation in criminal litigation. We also hope to build momentum for the establishment of a mitigation program within UT's Capital Punishment Center. The proposed program would bring together experts from a variety of disciplines at UT and beyond (law, social work, nursing, psychology, medicine, communications, journalism, etc.) to train students for careers as mitigation professionals and to research best mitigation practices (both within and outside of the capital context).

    Please join the Capital Punishment Center faculty and a stellar group of nationally-renowned and local panelists for a retrospective examination of mitigation investigation in the modern era as well as group discussion of our vision for mitigation training and development moving forward.
